I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Apple (Cupertino, CA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Received an email from HR (University Relations) a few days after applying. They stated that the Interactive Media Group wanted to interview me. After a few emails back and forth between two different people, we settled on an interview date. Both of these employees seemed extremely helpful and friendly. I interviewed over the phone with an employee who had extensive experience, publications, and presentations. Over the phone, he was rude at times, and was mostly interested in if I previously had experience with image processing (this wasn't listed as a requirement on the job description). The interviewer frequently cut me off after fifteen or thirty seconds of talking, and the interview ended after roughly fifteen minutes. Two days later, I got an email saying I didn't get the internship.
